|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|The charity was very dependent on the<br>B&NES Active Way funding (65% of<br>income) which, through the funding of our<br>business manager, underwrites all of our<br>services.

|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|The charity held £23,495 of unrestricted<br>funds at the end of the period.  This<br>remains greater than three months of<br>expenditure in the period, but gives a<br>position of resilience entering 2025-26.|

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
